Dear Naresh,   I just want to give you a quick update!   A week from today, Ellen Gustafson and I will launch Food Tank: The Food Think Tank . We are both excited (and a little nervous!).    There’s no doubt that the food system is broken. More than 1 billion people are overweight or obese, nearly 1 billion people go to bed hungry every night, and at least 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies.    We can find ways to solve these problems, though. Solutions are out there--in fields, in kitchens, and in board rooms all over the world. And you are a big part of those solutions.    If we start now, there is an opportunity to develop a better vision for the global food system. We need to change the conversation and find ways to make food production—and consumption—more economically, environmentally, and socially just and sustainable.   Food Tank's goal is to be a clearing house and community to
